New M-Model Black Hawk for CBP
|
On July 30, the United States Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine accepted a Sikorsky UH-60M from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command's Utility Helicopter Project Office in Huntsville, Ala. The UH-60M is the first of four that are being acquired via an interagency acquisition agreement with the U.S. Army. According John Stanton, executive director for the Office of Air and Marine's National Air Security Operations, the Black Hawk procurement “reduces program development time and the need for additional resources not available to CBP at this time, and enhances equipment availability and support for the CBP border security mission.”
